I disagree to instrumentalism. The purpose of science is to reach a conclusion in a valid MANNER not worry about what the truth is useful for.

Instrumentalism isn't really about what truth is useful for but what science in itself is useful for. For example, special relativity is useful for making predictions about the universe however it may not be true because its riddled with unproveable assumptions such as the speed of light is constant in a one way direction from any two points A and B.
